Hopefully, you will remember on Friday I shared this 'Full of Hearts' treasury with you, which featured my 'Love' Heart Keepsake box! On Saturday morning I woke up to find that this treasury was picked (from thousands of other amazing treasuries) and featured on Etsy's 'Front Page' and here's the snapshot :-)

Today I have 2 special treasuries I'd like to mention on my blog today :) The first was curated by the talented 'Mercedes' of DigitalCS (Etsy) and is called 'Full of hearts' and features my 'True Love' Heart Trinket Box! This is a romantic and stunning collection with a pink and black theme, which I adore!

I have been a busy bee working away on lots of new and exciting projects and would love to share a few of them with you today! Some of you may have already seen some of the new trinket boxes I have been working on. I am now using different blending techniques to create a variety of different effects and these will be available on my website soon. I also have a few new chess piece designs to share with you, a fairytale mini art decoration and cute pocket mirrors!

One of my favourite quotes captured in the form of an altered art decoration which has been handstamped and sparkles with glitter and a matching pocket mirror is also available. See my website for the original 'Fairytale Keepsake Box'.

This wonderful feature is titled "10 Questions with Jen Neil of Miss Bohemia" and was covered by the lovely Editor Katharine Jewitt! Katherine has featured some of her favourite designs from Miss Bohemia including Alice In Wonderland Jewellery and my popular Phantom of the Opera Pendant. I've included a sneak peak below but click here to read the full interview and find out more about my inspirations, aspirations, techniques, my most favourite piece and much more!

While you're there, you can check out the site, which is an "essential resource for both beginners and experienced crafters alike"! The site is jam packed with craft features, reviews, tips and techniques, tutorials, giveaways and a craft forum too!

Just a quick post to let you know that my 'Miss Bohemia' charity designs are still available at Rosewill Cottage, and will be until the end of January. The shop square space at Rosewill Cottage was donated by owner Dawn McLean. All monies raised from the sale of these designs will go directly to the Charity Diabetes UK, plus at Rosewill Cottage, there's lots of designs from other handmade designers and crafters (including Dawn) as well as jewellery and crafting supplies.

So if you're in or near the Whitley Bay area and fancy a bit of retail therapy do stop by Rosewill cottage and you could own a wonderful piece of jewellery and support Diabetes UK at the same time. Rosewill Cottage is located at 188 Park View, Whitley Bay NE26 3QP (in the UK) and open from 10:00am-5:00pm Tuesday to Saturday!

And just in case you've forgotten, here's a selection of what's available!

First up is a new treasury I curated for the beginning of January! It's called 'A wise owl once said...' and it's an orange zest owl filled treasury.

This treasury was based around 'Crafty Folk' team member 'SimJaTa's' Wise Owl Bag Charm :-) I had lots of fun picking out these designs from other handmade artists to include in this collection!

For the next treasury I chose amazing artists and members of the Crafty Folk Team on Etsy, whose beautiful works of art illustrate a story through a whirlwind of colours and styles! This one is titled 'You add colour to my black and white world'.

My last treasury to share with you is called 'All I want for Valentine's Day...'! This stylish and romantic treasury was curated by my talented friend Pearl At Play. It features my "Once in a while...Fairytale" Keepsake Box along with the gorgeous works of other Etsians - thank you Pearl :-)

All designs in the treasuries are clickable so you can find out more about each item.
